Casino: Market will settle dispute

The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians is set to open its new Bok Homa casino on Dec. 20 near Sandersville in Jones County.
The controversial casino – dubbed by vocal opponent Gov. Haley Barbour as a “slot parlor” – will feature more than 700 slot machines and a quick-serve eatery. Choctaw tribal spokesman Warren Strain said the casino will have two electronic blackjack tables and one electronic roulette table.
Some perspective is available by comparing the two enterprises.
